SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On August 5, 2010, DOE received an 

application from Vitol for authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada for five years as a 

power marketer using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

Vitol does not own any electric 

transmission facilities nor does it hold 

a franchised service area. 

The electric energy that Vitol 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Vitol have previously been authorized 

by Presidential permits issued pursuant 

to Executive Order 10485, as amended, 

and are appropriate for open access 

transmission by third parties.

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings or to be heard by filing

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 

385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 

petition and protest should be filed with 

DOE on or before the date listed above.

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) and after 

a determination is made by DOE that the 

proposed action will not adversely 

impact on the reliability of the U.S. 

electric power supply system.
